Summer 2025 is upon us and while we’re all about a fun & carefree summer, there’s no reason to leave your sustainable habits behind at the boarding gate. The choices you make at home (like ditching plastic and reading your labels) can and should travel with you.
We’ve put together a quick guide to help you stay prepared, feel your best, and avoid last-minute impulse buys that don’t align with your values.
1. Natural Hand Sanitizer
Pack a gentle, plant-based sanitizer like The Botanist. It keeps your hands clean without synthetic chemicals or overpowering perfumes.
Why: Your skin absorbs more than you think, so it’s worth choosing formulas that are kind to both your hands and the planet.
2. Electrolytes That Work for You
Stay hydrated on the go with SYP electrolytes, made from real, natural ingredients.
Why: Flights, long walks, and heat can dehydrate you fast. Electrolytes help keep your energy up without the crash that comes with sugary drinks.
3. Mineral Sunscreen
Choose a sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and check for reef-safe labels.
Why: Mineral sunscreens sit on your skin rather than being absorbed, making them safer for your body and they won’t harm ocean life if you’re going for a dip.
4. Reusable Water Bottle
Bring your own bottle and refill at hotels, airports, or any safe water station.
Why: It’s one of the simplest ways to cut down on single-use plastic while saving money and staying hydrated wherever you are.
5. Bambuyu Travel Tissues
Our compact tissue tubes are perfect for backpacks, handbags, or carry-ons. They won’t fall apart in your suitcase and they’re entirely plastic-free.
Why: Most tissues are loaded with chemicals and wrapped in plastic. Ours are soft, toxin-free, tree-free, and designed for a cleaner everyday.
6. Bring Your Own Snacks
Think dried fruit, trail mix, or a clean-label protein snacks like Plaay anything that travels well.
Why: It helps you avoid grabbing ultra-processed snacks on the go that leave you feeling sluggish.
Travel light, travel smart, and travel with intention. Because sustainability isn’t just a lifestyle it’s how we move through the world.
